If you’re in the kitchen remodeling business — or any line of remodeling for that matter — you need to be taking advantage of Houzz, a Pinterest-like website that allows people to post and share photos of gorgeous remodeling projects, creating a digital scrapbook full of home remodeling ideas.

For most homeowners, the first step in a remodeling project is to grab some magazines or visit websites to look for ideas. Houzz scratches that itch while also connecting users directly to remodelers. Kitchen Solvers quickly encouraged franchisees to take advantage of the platform when it debuted last year, and has helped create and manage profiles. Franchisees who have taken the plunge include Tracy Nichols, owner of Kitchen Solvers of Nashville; Sara Baumann of Eau Claire, Wisc.; and Art Mancino of Roswell, Ga. The Houzz accounts have helped new customers discover Kitchen Solvers and see the beauty of our remodeled kitchens.

Houzz is a great addition to the tools that Kitchen Solvers provides franchisees to help them stay in touch with — and stay useful to — prospective customers. Remodeling is a big decision, and people want to be sure they do it right, so it’s hard to provide too many ideas, too much advice, or too much consultation.

Houzz has apps for iPhones, iPads and Android devices. This is one of the photos Tracy Nichols has shared.

Kitchen Solvers franchise owners are trained to recognize where customers are in the sales process and then deliver the right information and options to help them make the best decisions about their remodel. Our franchisees enjoy many advantages due to our brands national footprint and buying power, but the relationships and trust we build are the key things that set Kitchen Solvers apart.

As new relationship-building tools like Houzz emerge, we’ll continue to work to ensure that franchisees are informed and positioned to take full advantage of them.
